The word "more" is derived from the Old English word "māra", which means "greater, more". The word "mismated" is formed by combining the prefix "mis-", meaning "wrongly", and "mated" which comes from the Old English word "gemǣtte", meaning "to join or mate". Therefore, "more mismated" means "more wrongly or poorly joined or mated".
